znModeratorBut you can tell him, we are going to trade or cut your ass if you don’t take this pay cut…
I’m thinking that is where they are at, and the Rams know they can’t trade him…
They can’t cut him either. If they cut TG it would subtract 8.4 M from the Rams cap (and at present they have 20 M in cap space).
I don’t think trying to be tough with the guy would accomplish anything. Besides I don’t think he’s done.
Backs have been productive before on arthritic knees. Heck Faulk was productive his final year with the Rams and at that point his knee was far worse than TG’s is now. TG has already showed both that he’s not his old self AND that he can still be productive, especially in the redzone, where he is instinctive and fierce. It won’t be the old Gurley but he can still produce.
Is the OL an issue in the running game? Probably–looks that way. Can it improve? Sure, if they play their cards right. Will that mean we see the old Gurley? No–but as I said he can still be productive and an improved OL could only help with that.

I don’t think Brown was third or fourth on the list, they might have been waiting for the announcement because of recruiting, he brought in some fantastic high school players, so there could have been an agreement with South Carolina to wait until the signing period was over.Brown has made every place better where he has been and he had the OC tag too under Mark Richt in Miami, so that is a plus as well and he’s young with energy and should be a major upgrade over Skip Peete and I expect a fullback to be added to the running back room.

Professional career
Atlanta Falcons
Brown was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. His rookie season was cut short by a horse collar tackle during the preseason, landing him on injured reserve. He was waived prior to the following season on September 5, 2009.
Cleveland Browns
Brown was signed to the Cleveland Browns practice squad on November 10, 2009. He was promoted to the active roster on January 2, 2010 after linebacker David Veikune was placed on injured reserve. He was released June 17, 2010.
Coaching career
In 2012, Brown was hired as running backs coach for the Chattanooga Mocs. In 2013, Brown was hired at the same position for the Marshall Thundering Herd.
On February 24, 2014, Brown was hired to be the Wisconsin Badgers running back coach.
On February 16, 2015, Brown returned to his alma mater as the running backs coach at University of Georgia under head coach Mark Richt, under whom Brown played. The move united the position coach of the 2014 NCAA rushing yards leader, Melvin Gordon, with one of the nation’s most prolific returning running backs in Nick Chubb.
On December 30 2015, Brown was hired to be the running backs coach and offensive coordinator at the University of Miami, where he would work under Mark Richt again.

We’ve been saying it for years – This is exactly how the NFL needs to do replay. How hard is this? Fast and accurate. #FreeCommonSenseJordan Schultz@Schultz_Report
It’s early, but I’m all about the #XFL: Insane kickoffs, huge hits, unprecedented in-game access w/coaches and maybe most importantly, surprisingly good 🏈. Because at the end of the day, who doesn’t want that? Oh, and a live F-bomb! 💯Chris B. Brown@smartfootball
Obviously some kinks to work through with the XFL, but very evident how much thought they put into everything. Seems leaps and bounds ahead of the AAFFebruary 8, 2020 at 4:21 pm in reply to: Rams coaching search wrapping up soon? … UPDATE: yes, done #111103znModeratorBruce Feldman@BruceFeldmanCFB

Report: Thomas Brown expected to take NFL job
https://southcarolina.rivals.com/news/report-thomas-brown-expected-to-take-nfl-job
South Carolina running backs coach Thomas Brown is expected to take a job with the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, according to a Tweet from Fox Sports and The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman.
The former #UGA running back didn’t coach Bulldogs great Todd Gurley in Athens but have heard they are close.
Brown, a former Georgia running back, has been at South Carolina for just one year but was instrumental in helping the Gamecocks reshape a running back room that loses four seniors this offseason.
Brown landed three running backs in the 2020 class including five-star MarShawn Lloyd, four-star ZaQuandre White and three-star Rashad Amos.
In December, Brown received a contract extension to two years and a raise from $300,000 per year to $500,000.
Gamecock Central will continue to track this developing situation.

A played can agree to reduce a contract, but that is rare.
Either way you cannot FORCE a player to take less than the contract.

Even bigger, however, is finding a trade partner to take on his contract with his injury history.
Good luck. https://t.co/gme51IeUgD

Rams are still finalizing their new group of assistant coaches. Only holdup is desire to announce them all at the same time. There’s no issues with the new coordinators previously reported. I’d think the full group will be in place next week.znModeratorZN,
Can you check the spam que again? I posted earlier and made the mistake of adding two links to books. Great books. But, apparently the mayor of spam city hates them.
Got it.
And as usual my fee is modest. We can arrange a payment plan, if need be.
znModeratorRich Hammond@Rich_Hammond
Just so we’re clear, a contract restructure is not a pay cut. So if you’re asking if current Rams’ contracts could be restructured, the answer is yes, but that money just gets chopped up and moved around. It’s a short-term fix that sometimes can be worth it.your typical restructure is base salary into regular bonus, which would be the scenarios.
znModeratorThe first major move of the Rams’ offseason arrived Thursday, and they didn’t even have to make a decision. @Rich_Hammond breaks down what Eric Weddle's retirement means as far as L.A.'s offseason plans. https://t.co/nFJzFxo2bR

excerpt:
now Weddle is gone and the Rams’ primary backup, Marqui Christian, is eligible to be a free agent next month. That would leave the Rams with only 2019 seventh-round pick Nick Scott and 2019 undrafted free agent Jake Gervase as backup safeties. Also, Johnson is set to enter the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, so the Rams likely will have to address that soon.
